1.) Indiana University system-wide provides Full-time Academic and Staff employee and their household members’ access to an Employee Assistance Program (IUEAP). An eligible participant has access to telephone helpline 365/24/7 and, with an EAP referral, may receive up to six face-to-face visits with a professional counselor.

IUEAP services are confidential and voluntary, and include assistance for depression, stress and anxiety, conflict in the workplace, drug and alcohol abuse, family and marital problems, and grief and loss.

Supervisors may use IUEAP services as a resource for guidance in dealing with a troubled employee. In the event of a traumatic situation in the workplace, counselors can make onsite visits to provide critical incident debriefing.

All fees for the IUEAP program are paid by the University. There is no cost to employees for IUEAP services.
